As beautiful 2-year-old boy Lane Graves is
laid to rest in Nebraska, after a fatal alligator attack
that occurred at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa in
Florida, new video has surfaced illustrating the problems
transpiring regarding dangerous animals in what is billed,
"The happiest place on earth."

Video has surfaced of an employee at
Disney’s Splash Mountain fending off an aggressive alligator
that kept assertively moving towards him, a few feet from a
the ride containing tourists. The employee hit’s the
aggressive gator on the face/nose to force the beast back
into the water. What is alarming is that the alligator came
so close to the tourists on the ride. It is also a point of
concern that a Disney employee has to fend off gators on the
job, as it has to be stressful and disconcerting. The gators
pose a threat to tourists and employees alike.

Florida is mostly swamp and sand. Over the
decades, construction sites have brought in rocks and use
cement to lay foundations to facilitate building structures.
Miami Beach, Florida also had to be reinforced with rocks in
order to build on it decades ago. Disney was built on
alligator and snake infested swamp land that was purchased
at rock bottom prices, due to the dangerous inhabitants.
Where Disney went wrong was building an artificial pond,
known as the Seven Seas Lagoon, around its rides and resort
hotels.

They should have just cleared the land and
kept it free from artificial bodies of water to limit the
number of dangerous animals. They should have also walled in
the hotels with security gates. Artificial ponds/lagoons
gives an appealing appearance, but was a bad idea in said
Southern setting, due to the deadly animals that live in the
region.

The fake Seven Seas Lagoon connects to
actual natural bodies of water in Florida that are home to
ferocious alligators and snakes. This provided easy access
for the natural wildlife in the area to move into the
artificial Seven Seas Lagoon at Disney via simply swimming
and slithering into it. These wild animals are behaving like
their habitat is being encroached upon by unwanted visitors
(humans). There are approximately 1.5 million alligators in
Florida. The closer you live to a body of water, the more
likely it is you will see or encounter one.

Disney erred again in running ads showing
people standing in the Seven Seas Lagoon in front of
windsurfing gear at the Grand Floridian. Disney also
negligently encouraged tourists to sit on the manmade beach
day and night, knowing there are alligators in the water,
who do walk on land. They don’t just walk a little on the
shore and then retreat. There are many gators who have
walked lengthy distances on land at different intervals at
various speeds. Looking at the videos and photos that have
surfaced showing alligators popping up at different
locations in Disney World is very jarring. It is insane that
Disney encouraged guests to frequent a gator infested
beach.
